As a matter of fact, since Week 5, the Bills have given up a total of 672 yards on the ground, which is an average of 168 yards per game. ... Although the Seahawks haven't been running the ball as often as they usually do because they've been letting Ru s cook, don't be fooled, this team can still run when they want to. The Seahawks are averaging five yards per carry this year, which is tied for the fifth-highest number in the NFL. Basically, I think the Seahawks are going to run up and down the field on Buffalo -- both figuratively and literally -- and the only reason this won't be a blowout is because the Seahawks defense is terrible, which means the Bills should be able to keep things close." -- John Breech on why he has the Seahawks beating the Bills 34-27Breech is 9-1 straight up with his lock of the week and is taking this game as that lock this week despite the low spread. in his Tuesday column.

They were even able to cover what was billed to be a blowout on Monday Night Football at the hands of the Buccaneers. While you have to give credit to head coach Joe Judge for keeping his team in these games, the talent level just isn't there for me to trust them in this matchup. Washington has one of the best front sevens in the entire NFL and the Giants offensive line has struggled mightily to protect Daniel Jones. When Jones is under pre sure, he's bound to turn the ball over. In their previous matchup in Week 6, Washington wasn't able to apply as much pre sure as you'd hope, totaling one sack and five quarterback hits. With a bye week of rest and time to prepare, I think that swings in the other direction against a Giants team playing on a short week." -- Tyler Sullivan on why he's making Washington one of Jeurys Familia Jersey his locks of the weekSully nailed his first lock of the week with the Packers, and you can in his Wednesday column.

But they're still good for about 35 points a game. They can beat you so many different ways and the special teams continue to stand out as well. The Panthers have hit a little rough stretch. Their lack of talent in a key spot is apparent and as much good work as they did to start trying to fix that defense, they still have some significant i sues to fill on the defensive line, particularly in the interior and also in their linebacking corps. Anytime you have instability in your spine as a defense, that's a problem, and especially against an offense as good as the Chiefs. Christian McCaffrey mi sed a lot of time and I'm not sure he comes right back and starts dominating, particularly against this defense. I don't see this as being a particularly close game." -- Jason La Canfora on why the Chiefs are one of his best bets this weekLa Canfora has identified , and you can see which other side he loves by checking out his Friday column.

I correctly picked that game, and I'm taking them to cover yet again. Jacksonville has lost all three of its last games by double digits, and rookie quarterback Jake Luton is slated to make his first career start in place of the injured Gardner Minshew. Since the start of last season, quarterbacks making their first career start are 12-5 against the spread -- but that stat also includes the likes of players like Kyler Murray, Drew Lock and Justin Herbert. I'll take the Texans to win by a touchdown." -- Jordan Dajani on why the Texans are one of his best betsDajani has crushed his ATS picks this season, going 67-46-3 since the start of the year.

The Broncos came back from a 24-3 deficit to beat the Chargers 31-30 despite being outgained on the evening by over 130 yards. That's strange, but it's also something the Chargers are great at doing. In this spot, Denver is playing another team known for blowing leads, but I trust the Falcons here more than I would the Chargers. First of all, this game is in Atlanta, and secondly, Matt Ryan isn't Justin Herbert. I've been impre sed by Herbert and love his potential, but he is still a rookie. Ryan's a proven vet going up against Drew Lock, who can be anything from amazing to awful on any given play. However, what's incredible to me and one of the reasons I'm big on Atlanta is that the Broncos have covered five of their first seven games despite turning the ball over on 17.6% of their offensive po se sions. They can't keep getting that lucky playing so poorly." -- Tom Fornelli on why the Falcons are one of his best betsFornelli is 13-10-1 on his best bets so far this year, and his three-pack for Week 9 includes a team total he loves. in his Thursday column.

And the absence of Taylor Lewan should make a difference against a team with a good pa s rush on the edge. On the other side of the ball, the Titans' defense is awful, especially on third down, where they have the worst succe s rate of any team through seven games in the last 30 years. The Bears offense isn't good, but it's good enough to have some succe s here and keep this one close, perhaps with a chance to win." -- R.J.

I think that might be the case. The Ravens are a really good team, don't get me wrong, and I would still back them to win the AFC North. But basically their entire defense is on the COVID list and this is a good Colts team! Philip Rivers is playing excellent football and while I'd have some worries about Jonathan Taylor mi sing this game and Indy being unable to run, I think they can attack with the shorter pa sing game and pull off the upset." -- Will Brinson on why he has the Colts winning 24-21The Colts aren't the only team Brinson is projecting to pull off an upset victory this week.

Kenny's been talking about Unders all day long and he's got two Overs, R.J. What do you think about this game?"R.J. White: "I would lean to the Over too, and I would lean to Vegas as well. The Chargers have lost eight straight in the AFC West, they struggle at home and their last four have gone Over, so it seems like everything just lines up for those two picks. Vegas is a good Over team, they're ranking fifth in points per Neil Walker Jersey drive on offense and 31st on defense. That's a formula where you're going to see a lot of points. My rating has a slight lean to Vegas, but the Chargers are the healthier team, so it's just a stayaway for me at pick. This was at 1.5 Chargers but now it's at pick, so the market is telling you that the Raiders are probably the right side."Brinson: "Yeah, I like the Raiders. Not quite a best bet, but I'm surprised at the Chargers love here. I think the Raiders are a better team. The Raiders are sort of undervalued -- they were 'dogs going into Cleveland, and I know that was a weird game with the wind and all, but there's no reason to fade the Raiders in that spot. They try hard, Jon Gruden is doing a good job, the defense isn't particularly good. I would lean toward the Over here as well."That's from the Pick Six Podcast, where I join Pete Prisco, Kenny White and Will Brinson every Friday to break down all the games from a gambling perspective, give out best bets and put together a Pick Six Parlay, which has hit four times this season.

And it's likely most people do, as the only time they've been favored by more than a touchdown game against the Eagles in Week 5, when they were still just 7.5-point favorites. There's no reason to expect Dallas to have any succe s offensively, nor should we expect a bad Cowboys defense to slow down Ben Roethlisberger and Co. Other options include the Vikings if Matthew Stafford is out or the one-win Texans on the road against a sixth-round rookie QB (which certainly carries a fair amount of risk with that pick).But don't just take my advice.
